i managed to get my hands on one of these, its potential is limitless with no skill ceiling. absolutely game changing for electronic music. this is a masterpiece of musical innovation that can't be beat. you have things like the seaboard, which is like an sr-71 of midi keyboards. this is like a UFO that can travel quite literally to another dimension. there is just nothing like it, it is absolutely a hyperspace jump into the future no one could have seen coming. owning one of these is like being part of an exclusive, elite club. its like owning a hypercar, or a yacht; everyone wants to see it and touch it. you can even change the color scheme to your liking for a custom feel. it is well built, geniusly designed, can be played in multiple postures (desk/strap) and has many configuration options, it even has a step sequencer. and best of all, there is no limit to what it can interface with. it works with every software synth just like a standard keyboard. but SWAM instruments are now the future. Linn has made history here. soon, in the future, kids will not want piano lessons anymore. they will want linnstrument lessons. you mark my words, everyone in the millennial generation will have one of these in their home one day. the only thing it needs is a price adjustment so everyone in the world can afford it without compromising on the quality, but i was more than willing to put myself in a little bit of debt to own this miraclework that looks and feels like a million bucks. my family believes my interest in electronic music is a pipe dream and will do anything to stop me from making electronic music. they are collectively conspiring against me to the point where i actually have just taken up a new job so i can move out and not let them dictate what i should and should not do. i dont care how long it takes or what it costs, i have fallen in love and will spend the rest of my life adoring this thing whether i ever learn to play it well or not. even just mashing the naturals makes me feel like a magician. anyone can play it, but its so versatile i can tell it will take me years to master. this is all i ever dreamed and more in a controller. its more than just that, it is truly a new instrument in itself that can transform your input into anything in the audible spectrum. my setup is my laptop, a pair of headphones, and a linnstrument. the rest is all software, the second i start getting paychecks im getting full FL studio (loyal for 15 years of using trial over an over never being able to export anything), NI and X-fer products, SWAMs, all together it is the most powerful tool in existence for electronic musicians who like to humanize things instead of using automation on every freaking sound. i love it, and it will probably take me a couple years to pay it off but i have no regret. it is so worth it. it is perfect.
No problem Roger! While scientists are saying his plans are highly unlikely including terraforming Mars, they remain plans for now. Musicians and their audience can travel anywhere their imagination allows them with the help of your instrument.
The lilting soul of a string instrument such as a guzheng, koto, violin, cello. Is in my opinion the pinnacle of auditory beauty. Bringing that soul to the digital space is an achievement comparable to the inventions that inspired it. Truly historic. Thank you.
Truly inspirational. As a guitarist that has switched to mostly electronic instruments this is simply a game changer. I regret trading my original mint condition LinnDrum years ago and don't think I'll make the same mistake with this. Thank you for all the wonderful instruments Roger!
Man. Could you imagine being mentored by this guy? It would be so cool to see how he gets his ideas and also see all the things that weren't released to the public. Such an amazing inventor.
Thanks for your kind words, Jerry. But the compensation I’ve received is far more valuable: the joy of knowing that something I’ve created has had an influence on music.
I love how nerdy and brilliant this is. I am a professional pianist and piano technician. I also play cello and guitar and bandoneon and have recently become obsessed with electronic sounds. This is truly a genius idea. Amazing idea and execution Roger Linn. Excellent work. I have to admit though, the Logic sounds are uninspiring. I'm not interested in reproducing acoustic instruments electronically but in using a great controller like this to make various synths really come alive. I'm talking about analog synthesis, frequency modulation synthesis, sample based synthesis, physical modeling synthesis. Of course I'm not against synthesis being used to emulate acoustic sounds but I think that the use of electronic means to make music only maintains its own sound world when it has a uniquely electronic signature (an unexpected tone or timbre that sounds particularly "electronic"). My feeling is that this an amazing instrument, not because "oh man we don't acoustic instruments anymore."
+Jonathan Kotulski Hi Jonathan. I agree and I personally find synthesis more interesting. This introduction video has more traditional sounds because generally people who are seeing LinnStrument for the first time seem to be more impressed with seeing LinnStrument being played while hearing traditional acoustic instrument sounds. But there are other videos that use synthesis on my site, www.rogerlinndesign.com. My new favorite is "LinnStrument 3-Part Pitch Slides", which uses FM from Madrona Labs' Aalto synth.
+Roger Linn I certainly respect your decision from a marketing standpoint. I hope you have many buyers for this and I also eventually hope to be one of them :)
With the way you've designed and manufactured everything you ever created, the way your brain works must be purely musical. You designed things for the music, not for the musician, and I will be forever grateful for that and for you. Thank you for everything, Roger Linn. From the LM-1 to this and now, you've done a great service for this Earth.
back then when i had my MPC60II i knew this man is a friggin genius. I never expected him to come up with something groundbreaking again. But, damn, he did it again. What is the progression of genius???
Roger Linn I as well. I just wish zZounds.com carried this beautiful piece of equipment. I have an all-access pass that would allow me to make 12 monthly installment plans. I loved using this demo inside Guitar Center. Saving to buy one now. Thanks for your kind response as well. Huge fan of your work, (the whole multitude of design projects you've endeavored in).
Buying one of these today. I think this is one of those times where the "evil marketing department" may have been necessary, because it feels like something as innovative as this has flown under the radar. It would be like if someone invented the keyboard and everyone just said "I don't see the point" and ignored it.
Wow looks great. I know there is a smaller one. Would love to have one with just 3 or so “strings” and a tiny footprint. As it stands i may rearrange my office to make room for one lol. Looks really great. Kudos on the wonderful design and execution.
I can't believe I haven't heard about this in the last seven years!!! I got goosebumps at 7:50 and the fact that you can play it like a guitar blew my mind!
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, as a small company it is difficult to get the word out. But there are nearly 4200 LinnStrument players in the world, so it's gradually getting known.
@@rogerlinndesign No problem Roger, It's always been a problem as you know emulating the way a real string & wind Instrument Is played using samples with electronic gear, but that machine has the magic and goes beyond a real Instrument with the flexibility It has. If I wasn't looking at the screen I'd of thought It was a real saxophonist playing, will have to treat my self as soon as Christmas Is out of the way. :@) amazing with what It you can do with percussion as well.
How are you not spoken about by anyone and everyone who plays music. I've been looking at instruments like this. Yours seem so much easier to grasp, and it'd definitely more affordable.
Hi Agus- thank you for owning a LinnStrument and for making this helpful video. If you will register your purchase on my site (from the LinnStrument Support page), I will send you a license for Bitwig 8-Track software and double your warranty.
Extraordinary! Two years after release, I've still never seen this until now. This unit should be selling like hotcakes. The capacity to play expressive music with feeling is really lacking in so much music over the last few decades or so in our "Garage Band" era.
Wow. Gear lust. I have many continents yet to explore with the Roli Seaboard I just acquired, but I can look forward to diving into the Linnstrument ocean once I earn my scuba certification. :-)
Yeah, creators showing to the world how excited they actually are about the things they are about to share with the world and how much they really did it for themselves will never lose its magic. It's the one thing that separates those who are full of it from those who actually care. Businesses that wouldn't buy their own things and wouldn't personally associate with it should not be supported by anyone. Roger should always remind us of this simple but very natural rule.
We were gonna copy the trautonium to create a ribbon like chapman stick diy, but it seems as though youve solved the problem. Thanks so much Roger! Gonna order one tommorow morning!!
@@rogerlinndesign Absolutely! LinnSrument is amazing! Also on the hunt for an MPC3000 now...always loved your drum machines and this is the one I've never had the opportunity to play with...but SOON :)
I’m watch)g this, thinking it’s a current video. The I see it’s 8 years old and he was pioneering note slides that Ableton Push 3 just put out. Brilliant mind ahead of his time. Please put out more new instruments!
+ZACCY Thanks for your interest in LinnStrument. Of course any instrument requires you to learn how to play it and LinnStrument is no exception. The advantage of LinnStrument is that it's far more flexible and easy to learn than other instruments. It's better than a piano keyboard for the reasons listed here: www.rogerlinndesign.com/piano-problems.html And it's better than any acoustic instruments because 1) it's both polyphonic and expressive in 3 dimensions, 2) it corrects your pitch error without affecting your vibrato and pitch slides, and 3) has its note pads optimized for the spacing of human fingers. There's a new video on my site (www.rogerlinndesign.com/linnstrument.html) that gives a better overview of what it can do. I honestly think that in 50 years, most people will be playing LinnStrument or something that has the same note arrangement and 3D control. The MIDI keyboard is toast. :)
Roger you are a god like musical genius and a living legend. I am getting one of these! Afterthought: Does it do velocity as well as pressure. Sorry if I missed that, I stayed to the end and was highly impressed by your playing skills. Imagine, if we had 5 clones of you each with a Linnstrument, what a cover band that could be!
Thank you for you very kind compliment. Yes, LinnStrument has velocity and release velocity. You can learn everything about it at www.rogerlinndesign.com.
@@rogerlinndesign It's amazing to me that I got a reply from Roger Linn to be honest. I like what you said on another comment about opening up possibilities for modulating synths, but I respectfully disagree with the poster's idea that this is not interesting for controlling 'real' instruments (sampled or virtualised). If you get a chance, have a look at the work of a chap who goes as Quilcom. He's done some pretty neat virtual acoustic VSTi's (check out his didgeridoo, and Rank, his pope organ) as well as some rather novel synths and effects. A couple worth noting; Mystery, good for evolving pads, and 4DS, a delay playground with an innovative routing matrix. My point being that what we need is a groundbreaking controller, yes for synths, but also to unlock these huge orchestral libraries, and also the emerging virtual acoustic possibilities. Also I use about 5 midi devices to control my DAW, but I can honestly see the potential for this to replace all of them. Especially since you took the exciting step of making the OS open source. It makes me think of the pIanoforte replacing the harpsichord. It's the same really, totally driven by the need for deeper expression. I can't believe I didn't know about these, you can count on seeing me on your forum as a customer, see you there :)
Thanks. The new Push has a different focus, more for beatmakers and simple play and less on traditional musical elements. I think they did a very good job, and it will introduce many players to the idea of expressive control and legitimize it, effectively raising demand for LinnStrument. Note that LinnStrument 128 has twice the pads for only $100 more.

you changed hip hop music forever roger....you made so many millionaires and changed somany lives its staggering #salutetothelegendaryrogerlinn
Thank you for you kind words, Londen.
If ever a man deserved a monument, it's Roger Linn.
Up there with the Late Great Dr Moog, I reckon.
I have one for sale. It's so awesome, but gotta pay rent lol hit me up.
how did this guy change hip hop can someone tell me what music used this instrument?
i managed to get my hands on one of these, its potential is limitless with no skill ceiling. absolutely game changing for electronic music.
this is a masterpiece of musical innovation that can't be beat.
you have things like the seaboard, which is like an sr-71 of midi keyboards. this is like a UFO that can travel quite literally to another dimension. there is just nothing like it, it is absolutely a hyperspace jump into the future no one could have seen coming. owning one of these is like being part of an exclusive, elite club. its like owning a hypercar, or a yacht; everyone wants to see it and touch it. you can even change the color scheme to your liking for a custom feel.
it is well built, geniusly designed, can be played in multiple postures (desk/strap) and has many configuration options, it even has a step sequencer.
and best of all, there is no limit to what it can interface with. it works with every software synth just like a standard keyboard. but SWAM instruments are now the future. Linn has made history here.
soon, in the future, kids will not want piano lessons anymore. they will want linnstrument lessons. you mark my words, everyone in the millennial generation will have one of these in their home one day. the only thing it needs is a price adjustment so everyone in the world can afford it without compromising on the quality, but i was more than willing to put myself in a little bit of debt to own this miraclework that looks and feels like a million bucks.
my family believes my interest in electronic music is a pipe dream and will do anything to stop me from making electronic music. they are collectively conspiring against me to the point where i actually have just taken up a new job so i can move out and not let them dictate what i should and should not do.
i dont care how long it takes or what it costs, i have fallen in love and will spend the rest of my life adoring this thing whether i ever learn to play it well or not. even just mashing the naturals makes me feel like a magician. anyone can play it, but its so versatile i can tell it will take me years to master. this is all i ever dreamed and more in a controller. its more than just that, it is truly a new instrument in itself that can transform your input into anything in the audible spectrum.
my setup is my laptop, a pair of headphones, and a linnstrument. the rest is all software, the second i start getting paychecks im getting full FL studio (loyal for 15 years of using trial over an over never being able to export anything), NI and X-fer products, SWAMs, all together it is the most powerful tool in existence for electronic musicians who like to humanize things instead of using automation on every freaking sound.
i love it, and it will probably take me a couple years to pay it off but i have no regret. it is so worth it. it is perfect.
Wow, thank you for your positive words on LinnStrument. It is very gratifying to make an instrument that inspires people to new musical heights.
Wonderfully intuitive. I'm a guitar player, and struggle when using a midi keyboard. This seems very friendly for a guitar player.
Forget Elon Musk, Roger Linn actually invents things!
Thank you for your kind comment. Another difference is that I have no plans to travel to Mars. :)
No problem Roger! While scientists are saying his plans are highly unlikely including terraforming Mars, they remain plans for now. Musicians and their audience can travel anywhere their imagination allows them with the help of your instrument.

Amazing- a truly new instrument. I really hope this gets widely adopted. We need this to kickstart out of our current (boring) standard music
Linnstrument is amazing because "wow electronic sounds can now be controlled with a more truly physical (human) connection to the player."
Applause! Strum mode kinda freaked me out, did not expect that. Super cool!
such a humble man and forever looking forward - what a guy!
